liberrydude 's review for:
West with the Night
by Beryl Markham
Not the aviation or travel book I thought it would be but much more. It’s a memoir about childhood, memory, and time. Beautiful prose. At times it feels like you are reading Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn but with a tomboy carousing on the Serengeti. Markham’s attachment to nature through horses, her love of Africa and its people, and insights into flying and life are worth reading. Wish I’d read this years ago when I first became aware of it. It was required reading for the school district which my library serviced.
